Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveWhat a fascinating dynamic we have now! There are 18 laps to go, Verstappen and Raikkonen both pitted so that's put Hamilton up to third position.

Lap 34/52
Sebastian Vettel pits for a new set of soft tyres. Valtteri Bottas stays out. So too does Lewis Hamilton.

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveHuge, huge accident. That is the fastest corner on the circuit. The safety car works horribly for Daniel Ricciardo because he had just pitted.

Thank goodness - Marcus Ericsson is OK. He's climbing out of the car after that crash at Abbey Corner, to big cheers from the Silverstone criwd.
And we've got the safety car out. Tactics time, everybody...

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporterWhy are they bringing Daniel Ricciardo in? That is the question. Is this Red Bull throwing a gamble? A bit of a strategy call?

Daniel Ricciardo comes in for a second pit stop. What's going on here? He's going on to soft tyres.

Lap 30/52
Hamilton sticks in another fastest lap - 1:31.546. He's not giving up on this. There's more drama to come here - I can feel it.

BBC Sport at SilverstoneHamilton got himself from 18th to second before he came in to the pits after that early spin and now drops back down to sixth with Sebastian Vettel first and Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas second. Still, what a drive it has been from Hamilton since that early problem.

Lewis Hamilton sticks in a fastest lap of 1:31.682 after being told by his team that he is in sixth place - is a podium finish still on for the Briton?

Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveVettel has not got good pace out there at the moment. Bottas was half a second quicker on the last lap.
Hamilton , having pitted, is on fresh tyres and then can charge at the top three.

BBC Radio 5 live pit-lane reporterSomething funny going on with that Hamilton stop. Mercedes brought the tyres out, they were all ready to go but Hamilton did not come in so they had to all go back in but they come out now for Hamilton, he is coming in now.
What was going on with him not coming in when they first asked him to? Those tyres will not be at perfection.

Lap 28/52
So just a quick recap - only two drivers have gone so far. Toro Rossos' Brendon Hartley retired on Lap 2, and Charles Leclerc went in Lap 20 after coming out of the pits with a loose wheel.
